This center is designed to provide convenience shopping for the day-to-day needs of consumers in the immediate neighborhood.  According to ICSC’s SCORE publication, a supermarket anchors half of these centers, while about a third have a drugstore anchor.  Stores offering pharmaceuticals and health-related products, sundries, snacks and personal services, support these anchors.  A neighborhood center is usually configured as a straight-line strip with no enclosed walkway or mall area, although a canopy may connect the storefronts.
